Joe Biden is wrong, the priest is wrong. I'm not catholic but as someone else pointed out this is introspective.
Where joe is wrong I refer to:
Matthew 6:5
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This then breaks into the "Lord's Prayer" The "Lord's Prayer" is an example, a teaching exercise. My daughter goes to a Lutheran Pre-school, and they recite this every morning, This has no meaning to these kids, nothing honestly, and I'm sure this will offend many it's like the pledge to the American Flag, these things are recited but have no meaning to the school age children who do it.
